CA Residents Injured In The US
What Are My Rights If I Am In A Car Accident In The USA
Canadians frequently travel to the United States for business, vacations, shopping, and family visits. But unfortunately, accidents can happen anywhere, and being injured in another country can make recovery more complex—especially when it comes to insurance and legal claims.
If you’re an Ontario resident injured in the U.S., Pranzitelli Law can help you understand your options and ensure you receive the maximum compensation available.
What Happens If You're Injured in the U.S.?
Even if your accident occurred across the border, you may still have access to Ontario benefits through your Canadian auto insurance policy, including:
Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits
Income Replacement Benefits
Attendant Care and more
In addition, you may be eligible to pursue a claim in the United States for:
Pain and suffering
Future care costs
Loss of income not covered in Ontario
Other out-of-pocket damages
With the right legal support, you may be able to access benefits both in Ontario and the U.S. state where the accident occurred.
Cross-Border Injury Law is Complex—Let Us Help
At Pranzitelli Law, we have experience managing cross-border accident claims.
We can:
Guide you through your Ontario accident benefits claim
Coordinate with U.S. lawyers to file and manage your claim in the appropriate American jurisdiction
Handle communication with multiple insurance companies on your behalf
Strategically position your case for the best possible recovery
Don’t assume that you’re on your own just because the accident occurred outside of Canada. Ontario law may still entitle you to significant support, and U.S. law may allow for additional compensation.
If you were injured while travelling in the United States, speak with an Ontario personal injury lawyer
before you talk to any insurance companies
—in either country.
We offer
free, no-obligation consultations, and you don’t pay unless we recover money for you.
Call Pranzitelli Law Firm today, and let us take care of your cross-border claim—so you can focus on recovery.

What is Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance
Long-Term Disability insurance provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work for an extended period due to illness or injury. It helps cover a portion of your lost income during your recovery.
How Do I Qualify For Long-Term Disability Benefits In Ontario?
To qualify for LTD benefits, you generally need to have a medical condition that prevents you from performing the essential duties of your job. You must also meet any specific requirements outlined in your insurance policy, such as waiting periods and providing medical documentation.
What Types Of Conditions Are Covered Under Long Term Disability Insurance?
LTD insurance typically covers a wide range of medical conditions, including physical injuries, chronic illnesses, mental health disorders, and serious diseases. It's important to review your policy for specific coverage details.
How Long Can I Receive Long-Term Disability Benefits?
The duration of LTD benefits depends on your insurance policy. Some policies provide benefits until you reach a certain age (e.g., 65), while others may have a set time limit (e.g., two years). Your policy will specify the maximum benefit period.
What Should I DO If My Long-Term Disability Claim Is Denied?
If your LTD claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. It's important to review the denial letter carefully, gather additional medical evidence, and consider seeking legal advice to help strengthen your case and navigate the appeals process.
